ketuba or quaker wedding certificate?

Hi There,

We had a custome text ketubah done by The Ketubah Company

The Ketubah Company They have beautiful ketubahs and wil put on any text you request, theur prices are reasonable also. We received our ketubah very quickly and we loved it!!! sorry, don't have a photo but you can see the one we chose here:

Red Rose

Many of the companies will let you write your own text--we're hoping to do that, as he's catholic-turned-athiest and I'm jewish-turned-i don't even know. And many seem to require about 6 weeks, but can do rush jobs, too.

We're looking for quirky rather than traditional, and found interesting ones here: Ketubah, Jewish Wedding, Marriage, Chuppah, Huppah, Mazel Tov

And here: Ketubot - ketubah STUDIO and ketubah 4 less

And here (these are really cool and unique, as they're both printed and sewn): New Ketubah: Handcrafted Modern Ketubah Design by Tsilli Pines

Interested to hear if you have any luck!

lyrebard - thanks - i'm in a similar situation - Reconstructionist/Conservative Jewish agnostic + my FI former christian who is staunch atheist. Very helpful!

lyrebard - are you getting married by a rabbi? or a friend? or a judge? would love to hear what jewish elements you are incorporating into your ceremony!

We're having my favorite cousin's husband, who is Jewish so knows some of the traditions, but is also just a charming guy who is a little older (late 40s) and feels like an officiant in a way, marry us. We just couldn't take any of our friends seriously enough in that role, sadly - and it would have been a hard choice. I was freaking out and kind of rushed into the decision, but hopefully it'll work out.

I'm having a chuppah too, and I'm having one of my best friends, a really good writer, write something that kind of takes the place of the 7 blessings, in a way that covers the topics of the 7 blessings in a non-religious way, and read that at the wedding.

My FI will break the glass, but it will symbolize the fragility of human relationships or some other thing other than the destruction of the temple (for him at least).

But I haven't looked into the ketubah yet - did you write your own, it is so hard to see the words on the samples!

Oh, and we're also dancing the horah .

Is a band playing the hora or are you using a cd? I need an mp3 to send to the Jazz band to see if they can play it. PM me if you have one thanks!

if you get the MP3 would you be willing to share it with me as well?

thanks!
